We were in Bangkok for six weeks at Bertrand's apartment. It was close to the sky strain - 13 min walk. The neighborhood has several eating options, all quite good. We are not talking about high end restaurants but street food that was tremendous. The neighbors were friendly. Traffic away from the apartment is challenging for a walker. We choose not to ride the motorcycle taxis. The apartment meet most of our needs. The kitchen has a mixture of supplies but most of our meals were eaten off the street. We are an older couple so the bed on the floor is a bit of a challenge to get in and out of. Making the bed each morning was also a challenge. Please note we were here for six weeks. This was our home for this time and it was relatively easy to maintain. The washer worked well and there was a rack on the porch to dry the clothes. Bertrand had a good vacuum so we were able to maintain the apartment easily. The pools were cool but refreshing after a day in the city. Neighbors are congenial. All in all a good experience I would recommend.
